Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

A little known fact...
The first testicular guard "Cup" was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.
It took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.

Yep we can be in the kitchen for a 1/2 hour no one is speaking.
As soon as I go on my PC and open Step Talk? there she is Yapping about everything and anything!
Now I can't read I can't focus and i must turn to her and let her yap...
Not wrong I guess. Just different
Too much
My DH says I say too much and he gets overloaded. I have learned NOT to chitchat with him (which I am not big on anyway), to make my point early and then STOP talking, to really get him to HEAR when it is important! Men seem to get overwhelmed and it is easy to go on too long.
I have trained him over the years to at least acknowledge that he hears me, because I will keep saying it different ways until he does! He would like to ignore and then say he doesn't know, but that doesn't work for me. }:)
